Product details
Overview
1N4741PE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 11 V, ±5% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 23 mA test current, 8 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 5 μA reverse leakage at 8.4 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4741PE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4741PE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4741PE3/TR12 application, or 1N4741PE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include its 11 V nominal Zener voltage, 1 W steady-state dissipation at TL < 105 °C, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. It exhibits a sharp knee at 23 mA test current with 8 Ω dynamic impedance, and its temperature coefficient is near zero at ~11 V, minimizing drift over -65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
The 1N4741PE3/TR12 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminals, and cathode polarity marked by a band. Its thermal resistance is 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) and 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with defined copper pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V ±5% at 23 mA - defines regulated output level with tight production control |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 8 Ω at IZT = 23 mA - determines regulation stiffness under small-signal AC variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA max at VR = 8.4 V - ensures low quiescent error in high-impedance bias networks |
| Maximum Regulator Current | 414 mA at TA = 50 °C - establishes peak DC current capability before thermal derating |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - defines conduction loss when used as clamp in forward direction |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design using standard lead-mounting practices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4741A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb plating; no TR12 tape-and-reel | Requires leaded solder process; manual or bulk-only handling | Select when legacy Pb-based assembly or non-automated procurement is required |
| MMSZ4701T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 11 V ±5%; 500 mW rating | Lower power, smaller footprint; unsuitable for >350 mA continuous loads | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 1 W dissipation is not needed |
Compared with 1N4741A and MMSZ4701T1G, the 1N4741PE3/TR12 uniquely combines full 1 W dissipation, RoHS compliance, and EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging in the industry-standard DO-41 through-hole form factor-making it optimal for high-reliability, automated, lead-free production of industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4741PE3/TR12?
The 1N4741PE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation and verified in Microsemi's official datasheet revision C (2005). This tolerance applies under standard test conditions: 23 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The "e3" suffix indicates RoHS compliance but does not affect voltage tolerance.
Does the 1N4741PE3/TR12 support automated assembly?
Yes, the 1N4741PE3/TR12 supports automated assembly via its "TR12" suffix, denoting EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging containing 12,000 units per reel. Its DO-41 axial-leaded form factor is compatible with standard pick-and-place feeders configured for radial/axial components, and its matte-tin plating ensures reliable solderability with lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the maximum continuous current the 1N4741PE3/TR12 can regulate?
The 1N4741PE3/TR12 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 414 mA at ambient temperature of 50 °C, as specified in Microsemi's electrical characteristics table. At higher temperatures, current must be reduced per the derating curve in Figure 1; at 105 °C lead temperature, the device sustains 1.0 W dissipation, corresponding to ~93 mA at 11 V.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4741PE3/TR12 impact PCB layout?
The 1N4741PE3/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W when leads are trimmed to 3/8″ (10 mm) from the body. For optimal thermal performance, PCB traces connected to its leads should use ≥1 mm width and connect to ≥4 mm² copper pads. On FR4 with 1 oz Cu, junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 105 °C/W-so board-level copper area directly affects safe operating current.
Is the 1N4741PE3/TR12 suitable for high-reliability applications like automotive or aerospace?
Yes-the 1N4741PE3/TR12 meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels when ordered with appropriate prefixes (e.g., MV for JANTXV), and its base specification includes operation from −65 °C to +150 °C, moisture sensitivity Level 1, and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. While the standard 1N4741PE3/TR12 is commercial-grade, Microsemi offers screened variants for automotive and aerospace use cases.
